the - hands of the inventor, who shall dare, with impious aim, to outdo the master genius, un less, indeed, like Welch cooks, every Radical has an original plan of his own, which would cer tainty entitle its " suffrage" to the term—universal. Supposing universal suffrage to exist (and blessings on the sample , !) would not the country be one pre cious scene of turbulence and waste ? The re- turn of chaos Would be, like Bartholomew Fair, an annual ranee-show, and the popular effer vescence would be a personification of " confusion, worse, confounded ! Public credit would suffer by the derangement of social order, and the honour of our national character be destroyed by the instability of o ur p u bli c M easures ,. which must take their bearing from the s li pper y wisdom and changing complexion, of mushroom legislators. Besides if every mob were to return its favourite representative (and the most up roarious knave would, of course, carry the day), what a congregation would astonish the classic walls of St. ...Stephens ! The petty interests of the crowd would be Influenced by the momentary gratification of mis guided desire, and these acting in an increased ratio Upon the individual ambition of each representative in whose, person the wants of all his constituents would be centred, the House of Commons would become the climax of the wants of the people. Every Member would have a new law for his own mob. The conse , luence is obvious. No man of character would enter the H ouse — a nd countenance such " admired dis order." A race of Goths and Vandals would bear • the sway, banishing good men from their presence, and by the folly of their acts destroying all respect for our Character among civilised nations. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 17 th instant reached us' this morning; but its contents possess little interest. The following are extracts ROME, MAY 25. The new harbour on the Tiber;called Port Leone, and intended chiefly for coal ships, was completed a few days ago, and was to be °polled to the public, when it was all at once discovered that the sunk pillar of an ancient bridge rendered the entrance of it ex tremely dangerous, and almost impassable. It was, indeed, an in explicable piece of negligence in the engineer not to have made a more accurate survey of the river. It will now cost much time and labour before the harbour can be made useful. The old Ro man. proverb, " that , a Cardinal seldom dies alone," seems likely to be again confirmed ; for, since the death of Cardinal St. Se verina, news has been received fromßologna that the Cardinal Legate Albani is very ill. We learn that Cardinal San Severino will not haves successor at Forti, but that that Legation will be united with Ravenna, under Cardinal Rivalola. We hear much of in tended improvements in the system of our management of the poor. The clergy of the several parishes are to be commissioned to deliver lista of the persons really in distress; that they may re ceive relief. Henceforth, no persons whatever will be allowed to beg in the. streets: s This would be a most welcome regu lation for the importunity and insolence of the beggars.—The Iroquois Chief begins to excite suspicion in the minds of many persons. As he would nut pay at Cernig'a hotel, the landlord let him know that he was not used to entertain his pests for no thing.. He now resides in a small apartment in Trinita Del Monte, Where he is said to be strictly watched, and not allowed to con verse with any body. Dining lately at the French Ambassa dor's, he is said neither to have spoken a word, nor to have eaten any thing. The Borgo has now a rather more cleanly appear ance since the façades of the houses and hots have been white-wash ed, on account of the procession of Corpus Christi. , This white washing, however, has become a real abuse, because even the facades of public buildings, with rich architectural decorations have been White-washed without reflecting that stone is not white. This white colour too is extremely painful to the eyes; it is hardly possible to pass by the church of St. Spirito in Sassta when the sun shines upon it, without green eye-glasses. Such a mode of disfiguring ancient buildings and monuments, is real.barbaristn. With 'simi lar want of judgment, the bronze doors of the 'church of St. John de Lateran have been covered with such a thick coat of varnish, that all the delicacy of the workManship is iso longer to be dis tinguished. This fashion of smearing over what is simple and noble, is become a mania in modern artists. THE FUNDS. CITY, Twetie 6' clock, this Day. To-day being a holiday at the Bank and English and Foreign stock EXCIIAngo, the Members of the two latter Eitablishments have met on the Royal Exchange. Consols closed yesterday int at which price some bargains have been done this morning, alternately sellers and buyers. In the Foreign Funds every thing appears quite inactive; the wind continues . unfavonrable for any arrivals, and there is not a single foreign mail on the books at Lloyds'. Half-past One o' Clock. Every thing remains in the same dull state as in the earlier part of the morning, and but few operations have taken place on the Royal Exchange in the Fun ds. Consols may 'be quoted at "it for the account ; Mexican, 55, buyera ;. Colombian, 3'71. Two o'clock. • Some business has been done in Consols since our last report, but the price has scarcely raised per Cent. ; they arenow 79, j ; —in the. Foreign Funds scarcely any transactions. Colombian and Mexican Bonds have rather a heavy appearance, the former 3 7, the latter at 541, 5. THREE O'CLOCK ELECTION OF SHERIFFS. --- To-days being Midsummer-day, a Common Hal l was held for th e El ec tion of Sheriffs. Mr. Samuel Dixon spoke of the necessity of clearing the' list, and exhorted the livery'to choose from amongst those who had been nominated in the ancient mode. Mr. Winchester and Mr. Farebrnther were put in nomination. • On a show of hands being taken, there wawa considerable number held np for R. H. Martin, Esq. and John Wooley, Esq. the 'two first names on the list ; but the Sheriffs declared the majority to be in favour of Messrs. Fare brother and Winchester, who returned thanks.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY.--(THis DAY.) GARTHWAITE V. LORD GRANTLEY. His LORDSHir stated, that Mr. Girdleston had asked him for judgment in this case. . If Mr. G. had known what had passed in Court, his Lordship was sure he would not have done what he did. The case came before this Court upon the question, whether a writing upon an envelope of a will, cancelled the enclosed will. Judgment was given formally upon that point. It was then men tioned that a highly respectable Counsel,. and professional man in the country, differed in opinion with the Court upon the point so disposed of. His Lordship then thought it due to that gentleman whom he had known, for tetween forty and fifty years, to reconsider the question, which be accordingly did, and a second time gave judgment—wrote upon the back of the brief disposed of, and returned it. There was not a word said to the Court about the costs when the cause was heard, but after judgment was given, costs were mentioned by one gentle man at the bar; the Court then said, what his Lordship hoped he was not wrong in saying, that if one party asked for costs he would have to hear the other side, but float that day to this, not a syllable had been mentioned about the costs. Mr. Horne fur ther requested, as there was a question arising, not on this record, with respect to the rights of the parties about some leasehold pro perty, as a favour to the parties, that he would express his opinion upon it ; he then observed, that he could not decide such a point unless both sides agreed, and in that event, he would have to hear them, which he was quite willing to do with a view to save fur ther expence, but he had never heard more of that either till yes terday, when he was asked for judgment. If he was now to dis pose of those points, he begged to have it so stated, and to be favoured with the briefs. Mr. SUGDEN said he really could not trouble the Court with the briefs:. He was bound to say, that , the whole of the delay that had arisen had been owing to the Counsel. The new points mentioned by the Court had been raised by the professional gen tlemen in the country, whose Counsel here (one of whom Mr. S. was) never could feel that they could argue the points; Mr. S. still thought he could not succeed on the points, and therefore he would publicly refuse to bring them forward. - A discussion then took place about costs to the trustees, upon a supplemental bill tiled in the cause. - His Loanstur said he had read in the public papers that the costs of the litigation here in this case was eighteen thousand pounds 1 at which he could' not but feel great regret, because a Shorter point never came before the Court, and it was altogether utterly impossible that any such amount of costs could have been incurred. The Court could not but sincerely thank Mr. Sugden for stating, as he did yesterday, that the Court was not to blame for the delay in this case. His Lordship was anxious to do his utmost in shielding both Solicitor and Counsel from being unfairly blamed by the public, and he had often suffered blame when he could have clearly shown the blame ought to have been directed to other persons.; • but he really did not think he ought to be censured and reproached for that which he actually had nothing on earth to do with. Mr. SUDDEN, and several Counsel at the bar said, it was utter ly impossible that the six-and-thirtieth part of the costs could have been incurred that had been stated. His LORMHIP thought not. {ln our report of this case yesterday we certainly stated that the costs were said to have been 1,800/., an enormous sum to be sure, but then we reported it as stated by the gentleman (whose name we did not know) who addressed the Court ; and we can only now repeat, that he made that statement distinctly and au dibly, precisely is we reported . it, and which we have no- doubt whatever was an unpardonable exaggeration.] His Los DSHIP got the briefs handed to him, which he said he would again carefully read, and return with his' opinion upon all the points, the Counsel on both sides agreeing not to say a word smore in the,ca. e. ATKINSON V. LANCASTER. Ills LORDS II IP said he would deliver ont the minutes ou Tues day, of the issues ; he thinks it ought to be tried in this case, where two sisters disagreed about some gold, that was left in a chest, in the possession of one of them, by their deceased father, at Carlisle. EXPARTE ROBERTS, IN THE CASE OF ROBERTS, A BANKRUPT. His LORDSHIP has read all the affidavits in the matter that was argued on Wednesday, and will give judgment, on Monday. EMDF.V V. 'EMDEN. His LORDSHIP will dispose of this on Monday. His present impression was, that Mr. Thot nton, mentioned in the pleadings, had twice received a sum of 2501., and he will state, on that day, his reasons for being of that opinion. IN THE CASE OF SYKES, SNAITII AND CO., BANKRUPTS: This matter his Loansmr will likewise take his leave of on Monday; on,vittoh-day,-}re tirrnsght-it rntght be usiful to state, he will uot sit tikeleven o'clock. COURT OF KING'S BENCH.—(Tin DAY), MARTIN V. CLEINRNT. Mr. Crwrtv opened the pleadings. Gunlow proceeded to state, that -this was an action brought by . Richard Martin, Esq. a well-known charac ter, and lately Member of Parliament for the county of Galway, against the defendant, proprietor of the Morning Chron icle, to recover compensation in damages for a series of attacks which had been made upon him in that journal in the months of July, October, and November last. It was well known to the Jury that Mr. Martin had introduced a Bill into Parliament for the protection of animals, which passed into a law, and that he had made himself very active in enforcing its provisions, in doing which be preferred several charges against individuals, which ne cessarily brought hinr before Magistrates. On one of these occa sions he charged a boy of cruelty towards an ass, which formed the subject of a gross libel on his character in the Morning Chron icle, under the head of Police Reports. The Arroato:v-Gawraae.here interrupted Mr. Gurney, and said, that the defendant was willing to admit, that the report in question was not correct ; and at the same time that he regretted having published it ; he felt confident that if Mr. Martin was here he "would he satisfied with this explanation, being at this moment in good humour for having beenhimself returned feu• the county of Galway, and also his son fur the Borough of Galway- r -(Much laughter.) Mr. GURNEY consented to take a verdict—Damages Is. VIE KING AND REV. WM. • Mr.CARTER, opened the pleadings—The ArrottNEY GENERAL stated the case.—This, he said, was an indictment preferred for perjury, alleged to have been committed by the defendant uuder the following circumstances :—An Act of Parliament, passed in the late reign, for enclosing certain lands in the parish of East Mosely, in the County of Surrey. By this Act a certain. portion was to be allowed to the Rector, in ben of tithes; immediately after this Act had pugged, the Commissioners proceeded to to carry it into effect ; and the Defendant, who is Perpetual Cu rate of East Mosely, made a claim to (Me half of the allotment. It was tried at the Kingston Assizes, to know what portion Mr. Ellis was entitled to. The trial terminated in referring the mat ter to Mr. Bolland, a barrister, who, in examining the Defend ant, asked him if he had originally claimed one half of the allot ment. The Defendant answered in the negative ; in consequence thereof a letter was banded. to him, which he had written to the Commissioners in 180, claiming one half of the allotment. ;Be-1 ing asked again if he had claimed half the laud, his answer was,l that he had not. Two other letters to the same effect were shown to him, which he also denied. The Avonstity-GENZRAL contended, that if he could prove these letters to be in the hand -writing of the defendant, it would be sufficient to establish the perjury, unless the Jury were of opi niou that he did not know his own writing, and that he had lost all recollection of the transaction. The defendant had an interest in swearing as he had done ; for, if it should appear that he had prolonged the litigation by, making an extravagant claim, he shOuld be saddled with the costs. Archibald Keith produced the order of reference and other papers connected with the over". Mr. &Hand, examined by the Aproxxxv-GENEttar..---Was arbitrator in the ease alluded to; examined Mr. Ellis in January, 1825 ; asked him if he had claimed half the allotment. His an swer was, that he had no recollection of having made .such a claim ; it might have been madehyhis lirother. Had no memo randum of a question having been put to , t he defendant respecting the first letter w hi t h h a d qe e n given to him. ,Crosa-examin e d b y Mr. Sca ver.--lbe question was res pecting a transacti on ..which took pinct in 1815. 4.11 r. Ellis was an old and infirm man. The Loan CHIEF Jussicit here interfered, a nd said that there were no grounds for these proceedings. The, proper mode of making the enquiry would be to put the claim into the defend ant's band, and ask him if ever he had made such ; all the de fendant swore wail, that he did not recollect haling made s uch $ claim. Pursuant to his Lordship's direetions,-the defendant was Acquitted. . QUERY. ---Why is Sir William Curtis a verse to an. nual Parliaments ?

Joseph Palmer, James Kemble, Sampson Tasher, and Joseph Spring, were indicted for the manslaughter of William Gage, on the 9th of May last, at Bethnal Green. James Gage: I am• the brother of - the deceased ;• he agreed to fight with Palmer on the ith of May; they fought in a field near Bethnal Green ; in retreating, my brother fell backward into a hole; the battle lasted three - quarters of an hour—it was a fair fight. lie complained of Weakness and pain in his arms; I took him home, and he was insensible all night; we took him to the hospital. Cross-examined—Palmer was very reluctant to tight; hi slipped in the hole in retreating; very soon after that he was ill ; Kemble was not present when the match WO made. William Martin—l heard a challenge given by the deceased to Palmer, who did not want to fight; deceased said that he would have it out that evening ; I saw the fight, and persuaded him to leave off but he refused; Kemble seconded deceased, and Spring seconded Palmer. Cross•examined---Palmer offered his hand at the beginning of the fight, but deceased did net take it ; Palmer did not wish to fight till he had been called a coward. Mr. Adams—l am student of the Hospital ; deceased was brought there on the 10th May, he lived there 12 hours; I at tended him ; his death was occasioned by a pressure on the brain ; his head was much bruised, but there was no fracture; I think that injury was caused by a fall, the bruises would not have pro duced it. The JUDGE summed up the evidence, and the Jury, without hesitation, pronounced all the prisoners "Not Guilty." After - an admonition they were discharged. jaws Taylor was indicted for the killing and slaying of Ann Taylor, his wife, by violently beating her with his fist. John Reading, a brickmaker—l knew Taylor; Ann Taylor WAS my sister; on the 7th of June last she came to the field to her husband ; she was in liquor ; was ve►y aggravating, and called him names; she threatened to drown herself in is pond in the field, on the bank of which she stopped some time, and then, returned to abuse him again.. He struck her, and she tell down ; she then went home, and I saw her the next day, when she ap peared as well as ever, and her husband with her;, they seemed on very good terms then. I saw her a few days afterwards, and her husband was attending her with great kindness ; they had been often quarrelling ; they had had 15 children. John Amsley—l saw deceased three days afterwards ; she told me that her husband had done for her. , Mr. Robinson, surgeon, at King - sland—l raw the deceased on the 9th of June ; she appeared drowsey. • David Ahekin, surgeon—l saw her on the 12th.; 1 hnd attended her before; she was constantly drunk ; on examining the head, after death, I found a blood vessel had been ruptured, but it might have been caused by her intemperance, which in my opinion was the case. The Junor, here observed that that evidence was quite suffi cient to acquit the prisoner, which was immediately done. NEW COURT. HAY V. CLOVER+ Two men named Jessop and Holden were indicted for steal ing two trusses of hay, the property of James Sumner, a town ear. man. It appeared that on Thursday week the prosecutor received a load of hay from the market, and having frequently missed hay out of his premises, he marked two or three trussses of the last load, by introducing pieces of paper amongst . the hay with his name marked upon them. Next day he missed two trusses, and in searching the prisoner's stables, the two marked trusses were found. IA the cross-examination of the prosecutor, by Mr. Phillips, he said that the article was not hay, but a mixture of clover and hay. Mr. PHILLIes—Now, what would you call it? clover or hay. Prosecutor—lt is certainly hay. Mr. Pnit.t.tes--So is a mare a horse : but is not hay grass dif ferent from clover grass ? Prosecutor—Yes, it is, Sir, but both are hay for all that. Brady, an officer, next got into the box and produced. a sample of the article, and it certainly appeared to us to be clover. Mr. PIIILLIrs to the officep—llid you take that sample bite your self out of the truss?—(Loud laughter.) Officer—l did not bite it out of the truss, but I took it out. (Here the sample was inspected by. Mr. Serjeant Arabin and the Jury.) Juror—The only difference in the hay is, that one is called clover hay, and the other meadow hay. Mr. Serjeant ARABlN—Certainly. p l up.irs—Thca.l, will no longer keep up the argument. Mr. Serjeant As'. e n then summed up the evidence to the Jury, who instantly pronounced both prisoners Guilty. William Waller was' indicted for stealing two mares from Newington Common, on the .?.7th of last May. The Jury re turned a verdict of Guilty of I•2tetiling one of them. He was detained on another indictment for stealing on the same evening, a purse, and 31. is, in money, from the person of Richard Cockle, who e the'following evidence I was at the Rose :and at csainbridge Heath, on the night of the 27th of May last. I met the prisoner there, we conversed, and went together to the Black Bear ; he told me that he had been out of work for some weeks. 1 treated him with beer, bread, and cheese ; he then asked me where I was going, and I toll! him to Enfield. He said that he was going that way himself, and asked me to let him drive my cart, to which I agreed ; we started, and I fell asleep in the cart. The prisoner awaked me when we had got to the turnpike and saying that he was going no farther, he wished me Ce goad night." I shortly afterwards missed my purse and money. On learning that he was in custody for horse-stealing, I went to the watch-house and identified him. _ _ . The night-constable deposed that he limn& (id. and the purse in the prisoner's pocket, and two half-sovereigns concealed in his hat, in which was likewise a pair of trowiers. The prisoner could give no satisfactory account of the way in which he got the money ; but he said, that Cockle asked him to drive the cart, and that he was innocent of the robbery.—The Jury, without hesitation, found the prisoner Guilty. CORONER'S INQUEST. MANSLAUGHTER BY A WATCHMAN. Last night an inquest was held at the Golden Lion, in Good man's-yard, Minories, before Mr. Shelton, on the body of John Dalton, an inhabitant of that neighbourhood. The Coroner and Jury having taken a view of the body, the following evidence was brought forward. Mrs. Alice Wallis, of No. 4, Red Lion Court, stated, that on the night in question she heard Mrs. Dalton cry out murder! She went to the door and saw her, her husband, and two men, in the passage,—one of the men was named Green, and lodged in Mr. Dalton's !wise. The watchman came• up, and dragged the men out of the house. Dalton, the deceased, followed, and he and the two men were taken to the watch-house. On the way she heard the watchman say to Mr. Dalton,--,“ If you don't be quiet, I'll floor you,'! and saw lam strike him several times over the knees with a thick stick.—ln about half an hour after they had been taken to the watch• house, Min - in was discharged, and taken home very ill. Witness went to see him, and he said he was quite sure he should die—that he felt very ill, and had been dreadfully ill used by the watchman. lie lingered in great pain till Monday, when he died. in the Minories, said he was Mr. Thomas Davies, surgeon , called to attend the deceased' on Sunday afternoon ; he was labour ing under a severe injury in the abdomen and bowels, and there were swellings on both tides ; his pulse was so low, that be gave up all hopes of his recovery. He lived t i ll Monday night , when he died. Lie had opened the body, and found a great quantity of fluid on the bowels, produced by a rupture of one of the intestines in the abdomen, which must have been occasioned by great violence. There being no further evidence, the Coroner summed' up, and commented thereon as he proceeded.. He said it was quite clear the watchman bad caused the man a death ; therefore the verdict of the Jury must b that of manslaughter: Tl►e Jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict of .4firn slau9hter against the 'watchman , Iv" was committed to Novgate for trial. ----- • When Mr. Winter (one of those lucky individuals on whom fortune through her favors) obtained the Assessorship o f Taxes, f e happene to go i nto a coffee-room where the author of " Sayings and " Doings was amusing t he'companywith his w i t.

WINDSOR, JUNE 23.—His Majesty, with his usual attendants, took his daily airing in his phaeton to the Castle ; Mr. Wyattville was in waiting to attend las Majesty, who inspected all the works, and then re turned to the Royal Lodge, Amongst the visitors to-day to see the improvements, was the Earl of Ches terfield. The Duke of York's health continues improving his Royal Highness was better yesterday. Numbers of inquiries have been made at his Royal Highness's residence for the last few days by the Nobility, Gentry,- &c. The Duchess o f Gloucester, the Princess Augusta. and the Princess Sophia visited , the Royal Duke yesterday. The Duke of Sussex has also visited his Royal Highness. Mr. Crompton (attached to. the Embassy of the Right Hon.

One troop of the First Life Guards arrived at the cavalry barracks, from Nottingham, this morning, and another troop marched into Colnbrook, also from Not tingham. - On the night of Thursday, the Ist instant,an elope ment took place from the neighbourhood of Longford. The lady, we hear, is much admired for her personal attractions ; and the young gentleman; who is a surgi cal student, and some years her junior, took the oppor tunity of her father's absence in Dublin, to borrow his gig and horse, to convey . his Desdemona and himself to the land of I-Iymen, from whence, it is presumed, they are now on their return.—Belfast Chronicle. The Russian sloop Enterprize, commanded by Captain Kotzebue, has arrived at Portsmouth from a three year's Voyage of Discovery, and it is the inten tion of her commander to sail again for St. Peters burgh on Monday next. Professor Fschscholtz, the naturalist, who accompanied Captain Kotzebue, and who is at present in London, has undertaken to draw up for publication a narrative of this voyage, which will probably extend to two volumes, and be illus trated by plates and maps. The observations in natu ral history and other sciences will be reserved for a dis tinct work. " A man," says Dean Swift, " spends the last half of MS life in regretting what he has done in the first half." It was observed by Lady Towniend that white lies were very often the gentlemen ushers of black ones. BEAUTIES' OF LAW.--."

A FALSE RETURN.—Wc understaual that some friends of Lord John Russell's were greatly elated the other day, by hearing that his Lordship was returned. Further enquiry, however, satisfied them he was re turned not . fir Huntingdon, but, otn Huntingdon. EXEMPLAR JUSTICE..--" Silence, gentlemen," said a Somersetshire Magistrate to the rabble at Taun ton ; co I have this morning committed no less than six poachers ; and have not yet heard a single word they said." " So Captain Silk has just arrived at Versailles, I find," said a lady, " heavens, what a name for a sol dier !" " The best name in the world," replied Horace Smith, who was standing near her at the time, " for silk,, u know, can► never be worsted." MELANCHOLY INTELLIGENCE.--It is believed that three of the family of the Bells are likely to be hung in the parish of Esher, through the machinations of the Smiths.

A gentleman well known in the 'thcatricat wo r ld ; presented his. tragedy , a fi w days since to Char b:emble, adding, as an encouragement to its acceptance, that he would give it him ii. r nothing, I thank you, Sir," said the manager, when the poet called on him a week after for 'his opinion, " and ani'happy to find . that You know the exact value, of your play. A BROAD HINT.- 4 Ma, faith," said Sir Andrew Agnew, " I was obliged to give that chief a broad hint the other day,"—" Abroad hint," replied 'a friend, " I thought he was one . of those who would not take a broad hint." "By my faith, he was forced to take it,".added Sir Andrew; " for the fellow wadna gang out of the door, sae I threw him out of the win dow." During the heat of the attack on Algiers, a Captain of one of the ships observed some blood, on returning to a part of the deck which he had just quitted—and asked if tray one had been thrown overboard. " No, please your Honour," said a gallant tar, " raising up some canvas, and spewing the body of a man who had been killed by a bar of iron stuck into his forehead ; " but they have made a unicorn of the serjeant of marines, and I am keeping him here to show him to' the mess when this job is over." CALEMBOUROS.—We seldom hear any thing so merry in London as in Paris upon such occasions ; but two lively enough jokes, and not ill-natured ones, are abroad on‘ the subject of the new peerage. It was re ported that Sir W. Knighton was to be created a peer, and Lady Halford a peeress, there being some want of precedent which prevented her husband, Sir H. Hal ford from being ennobled. Upon this a wit remarked, that 'Sir William's title ought to be " Lord Deliver us," and 'Sir Henry's motto, " A-peer-1-a'n't." A CASE FOR Mn. HUSKISSON,—.NOt having an entirely free trade leads to many serious losses and dis appointments. Only a month ago, Mr. Cross, our neighbour, in Exeter 'Change, ofrered a large sum of money to induce an elephant belonging to the King of France to visit this country. Every thing was satis fitetorily'arranged ; but annoy the Second has not come: on inquiry, it is reported that he was not em barked, because he would not submit to have his trunk searched by Custom-house officers. EQUIVOQUE.—The other day, a surgeon, not far from Brampton, who had regularly gone through his gradations at Apothecaries' i -ball, wrote to the secre tary for a copy of the forms , &c. , to which as a member he was entitled.

THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS. JttNE 24, 1826. [TUE MORNING CHRONICLE.] _ . There is one feature in the present No-Popery warfare which we are not a little delighted to 80, as it affords a pretty satisfac tory proof that fanaticism has very little to do with the business. It may be safelylaid down, that where fanaticism exists in any country, it is nearly confined to the lower orders, and that part of the middle (lasts immediately above them. Enthusiaim of any kind is seldom found in the higher ranks, and least of all re ligious enthusiasin. When, therefore, we find in a country ,a strong manifestation of sectarian zeal in the upper classes of so ciety, we may be almost certain that it is assumed. for purposes of ambition, and with a view to effect on the'minds of the lower orders. Now, in this warfare, we find that the lower orders have been on the side of Emancipation, and that, if ". No .Popery" has been any where successful--as at Leicester for instance,--this result has been brought about by the manufacturing of half the Parsons and Justices of the country into honorary freemen, whereby the real freemen have been out-voted. This proves that the lower orders have not been the .dupes of the hypocrisy of those who raised the cry of "No Popery ;" and as we give the most of the latter credit for too much sense to be sincere in their professions, when they find that their tricks have been una vailing, they will cease to give themselves fruitless trouble. They will confine themselves to the legitimate influence of property, to bribing and bullying those whose consciences are weak, or whose ne cessities are great, or who are placed in dependent circumstances. In the meantime the Aristocracy of lreland seem deitined to re ceive a new light from the fruits of the interference of the Catho lic Clergy in the present 'election.. The Catholic peasantry of Ireland are in that state of civilization in which the Priest has necessarily touch iefluence; and there can be little doubt that if that influence be exerted with a view to effect' the return of Mem bers friendly to Emancipation in those counties of which the great body of the Freeholdera are Catholics, they must succeed in their object. In fact, when the Priests put this plain question to the Catholic Freeholders,—‘.‘ Will you vote fiu' a Member, who pre nounceto your religion superstitious and idolatrous?" and tell them that such a vote would be stigmatizing their religion, we do not see how they could hold up their heads, if, after this solemn warning, they should vote flir the enemies of Emancipation. —lt is , clear, therefore, that, in all but one or two counties of Ireland, a Candidate professing himself friendly to emancipation is sure to triumph. The consequence of this, connected as the Irish Aristocracy are with the Aristocracy of England, cannot fail to be very serious. It would be rather too much for the present day. to see a family supporting the advo cates of Emancipation in Ireland, and opposing them in England. Something is due to appearances, however' much they might be disposed to laugh in their sleeves et the difference betwixt tuvedle dum and tweedle-dee, In the meantime, it is no small consolation to fir.d in this country, that the lower orders are so far over-edu cated, that the stale tricks of the "No Popery" stagers cease to de ceive them. We are not such enthusiasts as to suppose that edts -1 cation will give all men good consciences, or prevent mean and hungry rogues from filling their bellies at the expellee of rids and hypocritical candidates ; hut fools are necessary to the success of knaves, and education certainly has diminished the number of fools. • Prirtil MdIINING HERALD.] A. sort of it appears, has been formed at Home, for the editeation of liopish Priests to undertake the duties of that religion in behind, and to et bible the Pope himself is a eoutributor. A good de,l of eonseqoelle* has 'been heretofore at taclosl to the reverse of this t, the necessity of the, Catholic Clergy hying - educated at house; and we believe that the large and frequent grants which have from time to time been made. by Parliament towards the support of the Catholic's Seminary at Maynooth, have been mainly justified on the ground of the great desirableness of the Catholic 'Priesthood being kept clear of fo reign influence. It is to be hoped, therefore, at any rate, that if the Catholic Priests are hereafter to be educated at Rolile, we shall be relieved from the expellee of maintaining the home establish ment. For ourselves we do not attach any vast importance to the matter. If the morals of Maynooth are no better than those of Oxford and Cambridge, neither the Catholic nor the Mother Church would lose much by .their Clergy being educated else where. But there is one point of view in which the education of the former at Rome, instead of Douay, St. Cheers, &c. may he of a more questionable and suspicions nature. We mean in the more immediate connection it is calculated to estahlish rind maintain with the Vatican. It is this supposed foreign interference and , dependence which forms the main objection to the admission of Catholics to the full enjoyment of civil rights; and therefori, if those who have the direction of their affairs posaessed one atom of discretion, they would prudently have abstained from adding to their difficulties by a step so injudicious and nneelled-flo as this. It is an additional instance of that kind of .pio-de..seism by which the leaders of the Catholic Body are for ever defeating their own object. Generally speaking, a noire lila.) al education, both in matters of science and of the world, would be a great-ad vantage both the Catholic Priesthood anti their flocks ; forthough there doubtless are among them some few persons of highly cid tivatNi understandings, the mass of them are a low-minded, bigot ed race, in whom cunning supplies the plate of wisdom, and .whose influence over their followers ja l mischievous just in pro portion as it is wattling in those.powers of the mind which give a just and useful pre-eminence to men in every state of life. If then the Catholic priests are to he better educated than they have been, that would he so far a point gained both ttl those of their own communion, as well as to society in' general ; but that ad vantage, we suspect, will be more than counteracted, Why being educated at the seat of the Papal power, an impression is proditc ed, however erroneously, that the foreign connection and depen dence is strengthened, vOtitch can never, under any eireumstaneea, be other thin an objeet of eib•eme jealousy and alarm in this country. [ThP. BRITISH' I'ItESS.] The elections in the tieighbourhood of 1,004 mi being now al most all clfocted, the interest excited by the different contests in other polls of the country is comparatively inconsiderable. The two points to which tine attention of the public it now directed are th e two northern counties of Northumberland and West:intim , land s but mire particularly the latter. Neither or them is of any consequence, h o wever, in those respects for which elections in general are remarkable; for the conflict of opinioos which usually takes place upon such occasions seeins, in the, changed into a mere rivalry of individuals and families ; and, without meaning disrespect to any of the parties, We ',silly feel very little concern about the preservation of the influence of par ticular families, whether 'Whig or Tory.
